I would run -8 an from ur fuel pump and use the feed line for return. When I did my fuel system I notice that the feed line from pump is smaller than the rest of line. I changed the rubber part of the line with bigger hose. It wont have pressure cause u r only using for return. Let me know if this helps or I could try to explain it better.

I guess it would be a little over kill for just a walbro pump. I used -10an Feed and -8an Return on my car then again i use 2 Aeromotive A1000 pumps

I ran -8 feed and -6 return. If you pull off the plastic "guide" that runs under the car you can cut the plastic parts out and still run the braided through it along side the brake lines. That's what I did anyway.

Also, if you want to get fancy(like I did ) you can eliminate the whole banjo system and weld a -8 and -6 steel bung right to the top of the sending unit. Then just run 2 low pro 90's off of that. The stock cover doesn't fit without mods but other than that it works great. I will snap a pic tomorrow.

Ah, that sucks Didnt' know that. Is it even legal for nhra with the lines inside the car? 4thgens suck. j/k
Only thing I don't like about a stainless braided setup is the cost Adds up fast..
I think boosted-hybrid said the -8 feed -6 return with a walbro 255hp is good to ~600whp.

Im a little confused on running the feed line as the return line? So you would only have one fuel line running up front? Sorry im just not seeing how this would work

I understand that so basically just cap the other side of the fuel rail and just have the one line running to the rail with no return from the other side?

You have to have a return. You use -8an for feed and stock feed for return which is close to -6 an.
